Overview
Applications
General
Chemical strengthen glass is extensively used in where thermal temper glass simply could not achieve or achieve but at higher costs
CSP & CPC Concentrating Solar Power
1mm Chemically Strengthen Mirror Without Loading
Solar mirror can be chemically strengthening instead of thermal temper. Bending and tempering and mirror silvering of parabolic glass requires expensive production costs. Thin glass such as 1mm or 2mm can be chemically tempered. Then mirror silvering is applied on thin flat chemically strengthened glass. Thin flat mirrors are transported to installation site where there are tracking systems. Due to outstanding flexural strength, thin flat mirrors are easily pressed on steel frames which are already made with parabolic shape. When mirrors conforms to parabolic shape, they are fixed.
1mm Chemically Strengthen Mirror With Loading
Advantages:
- Chemically strengthen mirror does not care about final parabolic shape. Outstanding flexural strength of flat mirror conforms to any parabolic shape.
- Chemically strengthening mirror has much higher impact and mechanical strengthen than thermal temper mirror.
- Thermally glass bending and tempering results unavoidable optical distortion. This becomes very obvious when glass becomes mirror. Parabolic concentration efficiency will be reduced. Chemically strengthen glass is completely free of optical distortion. Parabolic concentration efficiency is not reduced.
- Thin mirror is lighter. Sun tracking system does not bear too much loading.
- Once mirror sizes are known, user can place order and keep mirror in stock without necessary to know equation of parabolic shape.
- Mirror is transported in flat form and, much thinner. These sharply reduce transportation cost.
- Tracking steel frames may physically distort day after day. Chemically strengthen mirror will not affected or broken due to its extraordinary flexural strengthen.
- Chemical temper mirror lasts longer than physically thermal temper mirror.
- No expansive bending and tempering system required.
- No expansive silvering machine on curve glass required.
